Artist Profile:

RYUTARO ENDO
Ryutaro Endo is a guitarist based in Tokyo. After studying Photography and Art, he transitioned his creative expression into music. While being part of the Tokyo Avant-garde and improvised music scene, Endo keeps his music rooted in traditional styles such as Jazz and Blues and performs diversely with various musicians. His solos, on the other hand, use fundamental guitar tones which balance explorations of the familiar and the unknown.

To our mind, Ryutaro's guitar playing evokes traces of early Taku Sugimoto and Jim O'Rourke alongside a slowly shifting melodic sensibility almost akin to the more tattered ends of minimalism.
